NEW YORK - s4story -- New Thought icon and scholar of religion Mitch Horowitz produces one of his most practical and actionable works in the new SECRETS OF SELF-MASTERY, now out from G&D Media.

In SECRETS OF SELF-MASTERY the PEN Award-winning historian explores hardcore and hard-won truths of success in the world of business, the arts, teaching, and other pursuits.

"I am no  financial wizard," Mitch writes, "but today I am a millionaire. I am one of the few writers I know of who makes his living solely from his craft…I dress in T-shirts, jeans, leather boots and jackets, and I am covered with tattoos—in short, I live largely how I want. It didn't happen overnight and it didn't happen by accident."

Mitch shares his "secrets" in applicable, actionable ways in this infectiously readable work.  He also narrates an unabridged audio edition.

"Mitch is one of the most literate voices in self-help today," says G&D founder and publisher Gilles Dana. "And in this book he raises the bar on the field, respecting the reader's intelligence and wit, while also provide significant strategies for self-development."

SECRETS OF SELF-MASTERY is available at booksellers everywhere including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
